Ardent basement-dwelling keyboard warriors who are possessed of a sport's fan mentality, and frequent the site 'Freerepublic.com'. Freepers as a group epitomize the very essence of hypocrisy. Almost universally self-described as 'Christians', Freepers are also almost universally pro-war, antagonistic to the poor and infirm, pro-authoritarian, and open to the use of violence in lieu of civil discussion and process. Freepers, being naturally prone to fear, are also terrified of non-whites, Muslims or anyone that looks like they might be Muslim, and of course, 'teh Gays'. Freepers will express this fear as threats of violence as they believe doing so hides the fact that they are either cowards or closeted 'queers' themselves.

Having a more simplistic 'black and white' mentality, Freepers are easily manipulated into believing many erroneous and irrational ideas that are detrimental to the nation's middle and lower classes, which the Freepers inexplicably feel they are above while exercising lifestyles that involve co-habitation with parents or siblings and harvesting road-kill to supplement a diet of Cheetos™ and generic cola products.

In print, Freepers are universally incapable of employing proper grammar or spelling despite their purported love for English as America's "ofical" language. In person, they will display an inability to grasp concepts such as 'Heat=Energy', 'Substantiation', and even 'Respiration' if they accidentally close their mouths.

A FReeper is a member of Free Republic, a supposedly open conservative forum devoted to issues dear to the hearts of patriotic Americans.

Issues important to FReepers include:

1) Unlimited access to firearms, including but not limited to: hand guns, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPG and other explosive anti personnel weapons, as well as small nuclear devices. These weapons should be available for sale, by constitutional right, everywhere without restriction or registration.

It is also the constitutional right of every American to carry any and all of the above weapons in any public place including; churches, maternity wards, the public highways, sporting events and most appropriately, funerals.

2) The FReeper does not believe in Democracy except at the State level. For the FReeper, the Federal government is merely a vehicle for the usurpation of freedom by Communists and Democrats (who FReepers view to be pretty much the same thing)

3) The FReeper is pro life except for illegal aliens (any brown non English speaking person), traffic violators and teenagers who walk across your lawn, all of whom can and should be shot in self defense.

4) The FReeper believes the world is divided into two groups; Freedom loving, God fearing, Americans (themselves) and
Communists, Illegal Alien Panderers, Islamofascists and their enablers (everyone else)

5) FReepers are tax hawks except for federal funding for the military, for whom no amount of money earned, taxed or borrowed is ever too much. Any military adventure or cockamamy weapons program is worthy of patriotic support.

FReepers who deviate from the herd on any of these subjects are generally not welcome at FR and will likely face the banhammer, or Zot as it is known on FR.

Free Republic is a fellowship of men and women (FReepers) who share their experience, strength, hope, and knowledge with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from liberalism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to be free. There are no dues or fees for Free Republic membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

Free Republic is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution (unless Jim says so), but its members sure are. Our primary purpose is to stay conservative and help other people to achieve liberty.

I am a FReeper and dedicated to ending liberalism as it is practised in this country.
